Amazing - Had truly the most incredible time shout out to our tour guide Michael (aka Mikey)! His ability to provide in-depth knowledge around rum running, and the overall history of the Bahamas made us feel even more excited to be here. While taking us through the distillery, in addition to local shops and landmarks along the streets, it was hard not to fall in love with this place! Additionally, he does an incredible job of making the whole group feel like one complete family. Our tour consisted of myself and my girlfriend, and one couple which believe it or not created lasting impressions and friendships that we could never have imagined. If this is your first time second time, or 10th time visiting the Bahamas you truly are missing out if you don’t book this tour! Cannot recommend enough!

A Good Time! - Jason and his tour was such a highlight of our trip! He was so informational, so funny and showed us such a good time. We ate really good and drank even better. We were joined by a great group of women also from Atlanta so that was a nice addition.

Rum Fun with Shad! - We had such a great time on our tour with Shad! He was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting! Shad has a great personality and very entertaining! We learned about the history of bbootlegging and how it affected so many people. We got several samples of different rums and rum drinks along with some food bites. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Shad if you can!

Fantastic, Exemplary! - Our guide, Jason, was exemplary and had an outstanding wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating stories about the history of rum in the islands, from its colonial roots to its modern-day significance. We wandered through the fragrant distillation rooms, marveling at the traditional methods still in use today. The tasting session was the highlight—an array of smooth, aromatic rums that showcased the Bahamas' unique flavor diversity. Each sip revealed hints of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruit, perfectly capturing the essence of the islands. The friendly staff made the experience even more enjoyable, offering pairing suggestions and personal stories behind each blend. Beyond the tastings, the tour included a visit to the picturesque downtown for learning about local agriculture and the rum-making process. We definitely recommend it as a must on your visit to the Bahamas! Thank you, JASON!
